Sovol SV06 Beginner tutorial, Assembly, Bed leveling, Calibration, and Slicer setting

Something that I missed in video:
If you have auto bed leveling issue, first thing you should try is adding M420 S1 on your starting G code. What it does is tell the printer to load the bed mesh that auto bed leveling feature stored. It does work for some, include one of my sv06.

Hi, another instruction types of videos. I purposely make this video with many details instruction and information. I think it will help the beginner the most. But it kills a lot of my brain cell and time from brainstorm the content, writing script, recording video, asking help from next “ex-wife” to recording, editing.
I am focus on digging to some of the part that may easily be ignore by experience player but will helpful to beginner. I am aim to not only showing you how to do it but also telling you the reason behind it, that way you will learn quicker. In the end of the day, you need to do a lots trouble shooting during your 3d printing journey. These knowledges will help you more than just show you how to do it.
So, I am planning to make these types of assembly, bed leveling, and calibration video for every printer that I reviewed.
Anyway, if you think this video is helpful, please let me know in the comments. Or, you think there is something that I didn’t cover, please let me and others know. If you have suggestions to improvement, free feel to let me know. Your support is the reason why spend time making these videos.
Good Luck! AND happy printing!

You need to add the "Fade" command to the M420 code line. M420 S1 Z3 Here is why. The M420 code just calls the mesh from the EPROM storage of the last leveling. If you do a bed auto-level and everything is fine, there is no need to auto-level again unless something changes. It just wastes time. So, add M420 S1 Z3 to the GCODE start line just after the G28 (home) command. It HAS to be after G28 because G28 clears all mesh data. The M420 S1 Z3 reloads it. The "Z" switch is the Fade command. It "fades" the mesh back to real life level over the number of layers in the "number" part of the command. I use 3. This gives you MUCH more accurate parts.

Awesome instructional video and nicely done with the bearing video too.I will 100% be packing the bearings with a quality lubricant and following your steps for my SV06 assembly this evening. Great to see an enthusiast orientated assembly -Seems they a very rare on here. i look forward to exploring more of your videos. Subscribed.. All the best!

[michaeltharp]

thank you for posting these i actually was able to work enough overtime last week that i was able to order my own SV06 this morning. i will be trying to hook up my sonic pad to it tomorrow evening. thank you again for your informative, humorous, and instructional vids!

Got mine Monday 2/27. Took 35 mins. to 1st print. Other than misfeeding the filament the 1st time, it's everything I was expecting out of a printer at this price point and more.
Test from SD was basically flawless. Test from PrusaSlicer through Octoprint, same.
I'm impressed!

[Stormtroooper]

Thank you, this was very helpful. Printing benchy now and looks like I now finally get decent prints. Thanks again!

I also highly recommend putting the electronics fan on the same circuit as the heatsink fan, the wiring as it is from factory only turns on with the part cooling fan. If you print high temp materials, most of which require little to no part cooling your electronics will not be cooled either. Even worse those materials typically need an enclosure, further compounding the lack of cooling.

I find it kind of amazing that a printer advertised for high temp materials would have this cooling setup.

[JoshFisher]

Great video and appreciate the detailed explanations along the way. Some just gloss over some of these detaills but you left no stone unturned.

[bentechie]

Far more useful than the manual that came with the kit. Good job!

[John-gmty]

excellently explained, demonstrated and most of all, helpful.

[eliawillinger]

this video was so helpfull for me. this is my first 3d printer and it really helped me cause even though i had done a bunch of research still was having trouble with the first steps in the manual after the wires and realized missed one. it was helpfull to also not have to go off of a manual with not a lot of instructions.

7:40 shows the only problem I've had with mine, which was the bed heating cable. I found that my cable naturally layed beneath the bed rather than running behind as you've shown. This led to improper Y Homing, as the cable would snag before the Y axis achieved it's actual maximum position.

[MrCai]

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to put this one together, lots of good tips in here

[Crusader]

Very well done video. :) I have an SV07 coming, so I wanted to see how the SV06 assembly/setup went. (I know they're very different printers - but some things are the same, and it's still Sovol.)

[Cleverjimmade]

Thank you for the video @SavageLau. Well put together and useful

[azbycxdw]

very nice video, I have the exact same issue with the bed level. left side is lower than right side.

[robertpringle]

Hi.how can I get my sine to work on my sovol sv 06 ....👋😊. T.h. rob

[Gabs_Labs]

I bought Sovol 06 on pre-order, but they already are realeasing sovol 06 plus, hope they fixed this isues in the newer model.

[jonak]

Hi Savage Lau! Thank you so much for putting this all together. I followed your instructions (including downloading the sv06 profile and importing it into the slicer) and tried to print and had my prints are slightly off center. When I use the Prusa Slicer plus the Ender 3 Bed Leveling Oink file. Instead of having space at the end like 14:26. It just goes all the way to the edge?

Am I doing something wrong?

[a.m.]

Great explanation! Do you happen to have a PETG configuration file? And thanks for the video!

[GamingUnitesGR]

I ordered my first 3D printer, the sovol ofcourse. Your channel will be my mentor. Thank you very much. If I cross any trouble can I text you maybe? I am so beginner and I need someone with your knowlegde
